A beautiful, original and early clock depicting a mare tending her foal. Beautifully and delicately modelled in bronze, full of life and movement with a lovely antique patina. The clock is mounted in a Sienna marble plinth mounted with crisp bronze with detail of cornucopia, acanthus and scrolls. The dial is silvered bronze with a gilt bronze surround and is complete with original fine blued steel hands. The original rear bezel is also glazed and has a silvered sight ring. The serial number 150 is marked on the front and rear bezel as well as the movement.
